Can't blog. I am healing and creating melodramatic popular songs.

To prepare yourself for the next post, please familiarize yourself with this old post. There will—possibly—be a test:
Wig
ME: Why is it that you are wearing a wig?
MAN WITH WIG: Aren't we all wearing wigs?
ME: No. I'm not wearing a wig. You are, and just you. So, why are you wearing a wig?
MAN WITH WIG: But, aren't clothes a kind of a wig? And you're wearing clothes.
ME: No, clothes are not a kind of a wig. Wigs are, probably, a kind of clothes, maybe. But clothes are not a kind of a wig. So, no, I'm not wearing a wig because I'm wearing clothes. Again, why are you wearing a wig?
MAN WITH WIG: Maybe, in fact, I'm not wearing a wig and you are!
ME: No, because a wig is a wig. And not a wig is not a wig. And that thing on your head is clearly a wig. Why are you wearing it?
MAN WITH WIG: Aren't we all, metaphorically speaking, wearing a wig?
ME: If I allow that we are all, metaphorically speaking, wearing a wig, will you tell me why you are, physically speaking, wearing a wig?
MAN WITH WIG: No.
ME: Then we are not, metaphorically speaking, all wearing wigs.

There will not really be a test. This post originally ran on Wednesday, November 2, 2005.
